Log Text: Possible Ancient Anglo Saxon cross in a recess inside the church. Shaft of the cross is in good condition and was re-discovered during restoration work in 1910.
Etched cross to be found in the same place, possibly a later carving.
Anglo Saxon material used in the construction of the current church including an arch, random stones and what is though to be the Anglo Saxon alter with three of the five crosses (symbolizing the five wounds of Jesus) stored in the side alter.
